NOD5
"OPERAtion education"
Nov. 1st-3rd, 2024
Frankfurt, Germany
For our fifth dialogue (NOD5), we will invite participants to address issues and challenges in the education and training of opera’s future creators. Although there is clearly demand for new work, there is next to no institutional context to learn the skills necessary for new opera development. For example, Germany produces around 80 new works annually; yet in the entire country there isn't a single degree or certificate-granting program for training future opera creators. How are these artists – whether composers, librettists, directors or conductors – supposed to hone their craft to produce successful new pieces? NOD5 "OPERAtion education" aims to bring together artists, professors, and opera houses to take this problem head-on.
The dialogue will take place in English.
